The River Forest Collaboration Committee identified communication with residents as being a mutual interest for all organizations represented. The Committee also concluded that collaboration on communication could be mutually beneficial for all parties by serving as a way to reach non-traditional audiences of any one given agency. In November of 2017, a survey was issued by the Collaboration Committee to all River Forest resident as a way of collectively gathering more data on what information residents wanted to be communicated and how residents preferred receiving communication. Part of that survey included gauging interest in a combined community calendar. The survey results were collected and analyzed by the Collaboration Commission in early 2018. Based on these results and discussion, the group decided to take on this project of building the first River Forest Community Calendar.
